Pedro II 1200 Reis 1835 MS65 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM454, Elizondo-55, LMB-553, Bentes-577.02. Despite having the highest mintage of the short-lived 1200 Reis series at just 10,616 pieces, this emission rarely comes to market and is certified an unfathomable Gem Mint State, a designation bestowed upon just a single other representative of the entire silver Cruzado series, an 1837 400 Reis. As the sole finest 1200 Reis, this selection is a giant among Brazilian numismatics. Struck with exacting precision on a uniformly slate planchet, laden with blazing luster that illuminates the champagne patination and enveloped with deep cobalt silhouettes. Rarely does an opportunity arise to own both a conditional and an absolute rarity such as this. Ex. Irving Goodman Collection (Goldberg Auction 15, June 2002, Lot 210)
